Correcting things you’ve already logged

Everything is editable. The only rule worth remembering: correct financial records, do not quietly erase them.

25 August 2026 · 3 min read

Mistakes get logged — wrong figure, wrong job, sent twice. All fixable by simply saying what is wrong.

Just describe the correction

"That last receipt was £54 not £45" or "delete the mileage entry for Tuesday" is enough. For older items, ask for a report first so you can identify the right entry unambiguously.

Correct versus delete

Duplicates and personal trips logged by accident should be deleted. Genuine transactions with a wrong figure should be corrected, not removed — the record should show what happened.

Invoices are different

Once an invoice has gone to a customer it is a financial document. Do not delete it; issue a credit note and a corrected invoice so the sequence and the story stay intact. See invoice numbering.

Build in a review habit

A monthly skim of your mileage and receipts catches errors while you still remember the details, rather than at year end when you do not. Thirty seconds well spent.

FAQ

Can I delete something I logged by mistake?

Yes — tell GraftG which entry and it will remove it. For anything older than a few days, pull up the relevant report first so you can identify the exact entry.

Can I delete an invoice I have already sent?

You should not. Once issued, an invoice is part of your financial record — issue a credit note and a corrected invoice instead, which keeps the numbering intact and shows exactly what was changed.
